FIFA is ready for radical changes. As reported by "talksport.com", the global football organization intends to significantly increase the frequency of hosting the World Cup. Currently, there is a system in place that has been in effect since the first championship in 1930 - the grand event takes place every four years. However, it is desired that fans could enjoy the performances of the best national teams in the world every two years. These FIFA plans were discussed by the head of the Saudi Arabian federation, Yasseras Al-Misehalis. "We believe that the future of football is in a critical situation. Many problems that this sport faced were further exacerbated by the global pandemics. We will have to review whether the current four-year cycle is optimal, considering both the sporting and commercial aspects. If there were fewer, but more meaningful national team matches, we could solve players' welfare issues and at the same time increase the value of the competition." It is said that FIFA President Gianni Infantino views this proposal favorably, and approval has already been expressed by 166 national federations. There are 22 federations that do not want changes and are against more frequent World Cups.
